NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

By 1939, Hitler was doing his very, very best to manufacture reasons to start shooting wars with Germany's neighbors.

Absolute insanity. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

100 Proud Boys and their close associates One hundred With a preplanned violent attack on the seat of government including specific plans of “overwhelming police defenses.” Important to understand what just happened: By leading analyst @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social www.justsecurity.org/106689/janua...

Take the under.

Easiest layup question in media today: ask Republican elected officials if Trump should have pardoned the January 6th folks who violently attacked cops that day.

Insurrectionist Convicted Felon Donald Trump just fired José Andrés because he is “not aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again.” I can’t even express my rage and vehement disgust in words…

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.

@emptywheel.bsky.social Marcy Wheeler applies her signature combo of dogged research and precise analysis to tell us what the public record already provides as to what is in volume 2 of the Smith report The closest we will be coming for now. www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/19/f...

Pro tip for Democrats: Approach these confirmation hearings like a criminal trial. The American people are the jury. Aggressively prosecute the case. Go on OFFENSE! Force Hegseth to defend himself. When you’re explaining, you’re losing. Sen Kaine & Sen Hirono did this brilliantly.More of that!

Clearly, the main qualification Donald Trump was looking for in SecDef is someone who will praise him constantly and effusively.

Tammy Duckworth is just killing Hegseth. Gets him to admit he has never done internationals security arrangements. Doesn't know what SecDef has to do on same. She asks him to name ASEAN countries and significance of them. He names a bunch of countries that aren't part of ASEAN.

It is reprehensible that the GOP is looking to put conditions on aid to California and play politics by attaching aid to the debt ceiling, just so they can give tax breaks to billionaires. This is extortion and it cannot stand.

So the world’s richest man, who grew up under apartheid in South Africa and now pulls the mentally deteriorating incoming U.S. president’s strings, has written an op-ed urging Germans to elect a neo-Nazi government. Got that?

“Trump’s authoritarian project depends on packaging up his assault on truth as justice.”

Reporter: Will you ask Putin to give up Assad? Trump: “Well, I hadn't thought of it. I think we have to move on with our lives… Trump is Putin’s bitch

Oh, all the while, Trump is on the phone with Putin but he keeps refusing to admit it when asked.

This was an utterly meritless lawsuit. ABC suits are cowards who embarrassed their news division. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/14/u...

ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting. This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.
